Why Cygna Labs

In an always-on digital economy, business continuity depends on a resilient foundation of network infrastructure and access management.

When your core services fail, everything else follows

The Stakes Are Higher Than Ever

DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (DDI) is the invisible infrastructure powering device connectivity, while network access is governed to secure access to critical systems. A misconfigured DNS or a compromised identity can halt operations, disrupt customer access, and expose sensitive data. In fact, according to numerous studies from industry experts like Gartner and IDC, it’s the largest risk areas for business continuity.

80%

of cybersecurity exposures are tied to misconfigured identity systems (AD, IAM)

90%

of organizations faced DNS attacks in 2023, averaging 7.5 attacks per company and $1.1M in losses per incident.

3B

Facebook’s seven-hour outage, impacting 3 billion users, was traced to a DNS and BGP misconfiguration.

What Happens When DDI Fails

When DNS fails, users can’t reach critical apps, websites, or cloud services—even if they’re online. It’s often invisible until everything stops working. And when it does, business comes to a halt.

If DHCP goes down, devices can’t get IP addresses. That means laptops, phones, servers—even VoIP and printers—are locked out of the network. Productivity stalls, and IT is left scrambling.

Without proper IP address management, conflicts and duplicates quietly destabilize the network. Outages creep in. Troubleshooting gets harder. And the bigger you scale, the more fragile it becomes.

Real-World Risks:

  • DDoS attacks on DNS can render entire services unreachable.

  • Misconfigured DHCP scopes can take down branch offices or entire user groups.

  • Poor IP visibility leads to blind spots, bottlenecks, or conflicts during recovery efforts.

What Happens When Access Fails

When AD or your identity provider is offline, users can’t access apps, email, VPN, or cloud services. Work grinds to a halt, and IT is left restoring basic access before anything else can resume.

When attackers gain elevated privileges, they can launch ransomware, steal data, or disable security tools. The higher the access, the deeper the damage.

Incorrect IAM settings can lock out legitimate users or give unauthorized users access they shouldn't have. Both result in downtime and risk.

Real-World Risks:

  • Ransomware often targets AD to lock everyone out and disable recovery.

  • No Access = no remote access, especially critical in crisis scenarios (e.g. weather, pandemic, or physical outages).

Together, they form the baseline for all IT operations. If either is compromised, even your incident response, disaster recovery, or business continuity systems may be inaccessible.

By ensuring high-availability DDI services and enforcing robust identity controls, organizations protect against downtime, mitigate cyber risk, and maintain operational continuity—no matter the disruption.

New complexity demands new thinking.

The Modern IT Landscape Is Changing

As businesses adopt multi-cloud, expand device footprints, and face growing compliance demands, infrastructure must evolve. Static, siloed systems no longer cut it.

cloud-adoption-n-multi-cloud-environments
Cloud Adoption & Multi-Cloud Environments
  • Businesses use multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), along with SaaS apps like Salesforce, Zoom, and M365.

  • Networking must span on-prem, hybrid, and cloud, with secure, high-performance connections between them.

  • This adds layers of cloud networking, peering, VPNs, SD-WANs, and dynamic routing.

remote-and-hybrid-work
Remote & Hybrid Work
  • Users now connect from anywhere — homes, cafes, mobile devices.

  • Networks must securely support remote access, zero trust architectures, and endpoint variability.

  • This decentralization increases attack surfaces and monitoring complexity.

cybersecurity-integration
Cybersecurity Integration
  • Modern networks require embedded security controls: firewalls, intrusion detection, segmentation, encryption, and threat monitoring.

  • The rise of Zero Trust and identity-aware networking means every user/device must be continuously verified.

  • Security is no longer perimeter-based — it’s network-embedded, making architecture more intricate.

iot-expansion
IoT expansion
  • From laptops to printers to smart sensors — everything’s online.

  • Networks must handle massive device scale, with intelligent IP management (DDI), isolation, and monitoring.

microservices-and-containerized-architectures
Microservices & Containerized Architectures
  • Apps are no longer monoliths; they’re broken into hundreds of services that communicate over the network.

  • Kubernetes, service meshes, and APIs all depend on dynamic, service-to-service networking, often at scale and across clouds.

dynamic-and-software-defined-networks
Dynamic and Software-Defined Networks (SDN)
  • Networks are now programmable and policy-driven (think SD-WAN, ACI, etc.)

  • While powerful, SDN adds new layers of abstraction, orchestration, and interdependency — requiring new skills and tools to manage.

observability-and-compliance-requirements
Observability & Compliance Requirements
  • Businesses need deep visibility into performance, user behavior, and threats — requiring telemetry, flow data, and analytics.

  • Regulatory pressure (HIPAA, GDPR, etc.) demands network-based control and auditability, adding more operational layers.
